Some of my ramblings on tech, websites, and self-development.
I’ve been asking myself this question a lot recently after applying for quite a few web development placements. The experience has been enlightening, teaching me a great deal about the industry. I’ve been reflecting on what I’m good at in web development and what I enjoy. Whilst freelancing I’d describe myself as a Full-Stack Developer.…
Following on from developing the HitTastic! site we had to create a site in PHP that allows users to view POI’s stored in a database, and contribute to this database. We had to do some basic styles to go along with it.
In my second year of university, I did a PHP unit where we were tasked with creating a site showing the number one songs from a certain year. We had to make a login, connect to a database, and perform a search.
